Cliquet has been folded into the Kinto package under the new name kinto.core . You should update your code to import kinto.core instead of cliquet , and all cliquet.* settings are now prefixed with kinto instead. See https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/kinto/2016-May/000119.html for more about the background for this decision.
Cliquet is a toolkit to ease the implementation of HTTP microservices, such as data-driven REST APIs.
A cliquet, or ratchet, is a mechanical device that allows continuous linear or rotary motion in only one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction.
